Stealing Liberty, founded in January 2011, is a cover band focusing on jazzy, up-tempo versions of material by the Grateful Dead, Rat Dog and associated musicians. Founder Jeff Snyder of Baltimore, also in Shakedown Suite, provides crisp vocals and Bob Weir-style rhythm guitar. Saxophonist Trevor Specht, also in Silver Spring-based Chopteeth Afrofunk Big Band, adds vocals and a new element of sax lines weaving around and through the music. Lead guitarist Tracy Beer, also in August First, provides the soulful Jerry Garcia solos. Other personnel include Leah DeLano (formerly of The Wharf Rats and the Washington Revels) on harmony vocals, Jeff DLB (formerly Wharf Rats and Shakedown Suite) on keys, Bill Cahill (formerly Shakedown Suite, Deny Everything) on bass, and Todd Newell (Creek Shore Ramblers) on drums.
